Anchor Vaults, Whitehaven

Looked alright from the outside as I tried to find somewhere to pass 15 mins before the train. God's waiting room within, all the assembled codger punters were watching The Chase…but the TV was muted! There’s half a good pub here and the front bar was not too shabby if somewhat haphazard, though the smell of old fags wasn’t great. Karaoke 3 days a week gives you an idea of the market its aiming for. No cask, so a classic Guinness to pass the time.
